Speaking of Iwo Jima, my 101 yr old Uncle stormed those beaches. As he clearly states “it was a cluster F”. He stormed 4 Islands before being bayoneted in the buttocks.
My grandfather also. He was Chief Medical Core-man of Medical Field Supplies. He and the few guys under his command, had to actually run supplies from the landing boats to the Field-Medics. He spent lots of time in fox holes on Iwo Jima and Saipan. He was extremely lucky to make it back home, surviving 2 beach/island invasions. His pictures I have from both invasions are both horrible and amazing.
